Yes
Just been looking at d700 bodies to replace the faulty 1 I got from ebay found 1 online for £542 with 6 months warranty and they say the shutter count is 1,150,000 odd some kind of record.

I want to ring them and find out if it's true it may have had a few new shutters.
 
I know someone who has had a D700 from new still on the original shutter and it's at 267,659(we checked yesterday ) still works like new.
 
I seem to recall a thread about Camera Jungle selling a s/h camera that looked very good but with a high shutter count before I'm sure that one had been in place shooting punters on a roller coaster type ride hence the lack of marks.
 
I have a friend whose Canon 50D has a genuine shutter count of around 750,000. My impression is that the D700 was built to higher standards than the 50D, so a shutter count in excess of a million isn't impossible. However, the photos on that Camera Jungle page depict a camera which doesn't look like it's been very heavily used....

I saw this on a local (Malaysian) used camera equipment website - could it be the highest ranked Canon EOS 5d mk2 in the world? Look at the digits carefully to work out just how big a number it is!

That's a software error 24 bit binary number with every digit = 1

2 to the power of 24 less 1 = 16777215

I'm not that much of a mathematician - so you might have to help me out :) Are you saying that due to a software error - the number produced as shown is just showing that the camera is unreadable for whatever reason?
 
No I'm saying that the piece of software reading the shutter count, just got it wrong, or the camera value was unreadable, I don't know the guts of the piece of software.

Or it may be that the Canon shutter counter register is only 24 bits long and it really has done more than 16777215 actuations.

Its just a bit of a 'coincidental number' to be be believeable.
 
Impressive if true. Got me thinking - when Canon/ Nikon replace a shutter, do they reset the shutter count?

I asked and they don't due to the other parts that are part of the shutter process.

Ah, interesting. So if someone were to have a new shutter installed then the used value of the camera would still likely be pretty low since it will still have a very high shutter count.
 
Either way, £542 is expensive for a D700 - gut feeling is that £450 or so gets you a mint low mileage one?

Think they have dropped again a bit seen one locally with just over 30k count for £350.
 
Looked at a few and seem to be holding their price tbh like £500+ with 70k on them
 
Best to keep any eye on the classifieds here or maybe create a wanted thread..
 
I got 1 from ebay boxed with boxed mbd10 3 nikon batteries 32gb card but with 190k but supposed to have had a new shutter fitted a few months ago but for £250 cheap enough to have a new shutter fitted if needed.

Now that is a bargain for everything!

Let me know if 3 batteries are perhaps 1 too many :whistle:
 
3 batteries are ideal, 2 in the battery grip and a spare for the camera when they are charging ;)
 
Ironically the box looks more beaten up than the camera!

The shutter doesn't reset to zero right? if a new shutter is replace?

No I asked nikon they don't reset the count due to other parts that are linked to the shutter that are not replaced.

A bit like fitting a new engine in a car the milage is not reset.

That's good know, my original point was the D700 with 1mil click might have a few shutter replace ....... so 1mil click might actually right ......
